Leaking Toilet in Oceana Damages Bathroom Floor?

We are leaders in water damage restoration services in Raleigh County.

According to a report produced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), water leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year, or the amount of water needed to wash 270 loads of laundry in the average household. Our local Beckley team is highly trained and has been restoring water damage in Oceana for many years. Leaking toilets may cause water damage that may not be detectable until the damage is significant, but there are ways to find out if your toilet is leaking. Here are some tips from the EPA for detecting a toilet leak:

• One way to find out if you have a toilet leak is to place a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If the color shows up in the bowl within ten minutes without flushing, you have a leak. Make sure to flush immediately after this experiment to avoid staining the tank.
• If your toilet is leaking, the cause is often an old faulty toilet flapper. Over time, this inexpensive rubber part decays, or minerals build up on it. It’s usually best to replace the whole flapper, which is a relatively easy and inexpensive do-it-yourself project that pays for itself in no time.
